I am not surprised that Greg is not impressed... 8-) Honestly, I gave it it the ole college try, recently(last week). I've used it on other peoples windows machines. Actually like the way it handled many things. But look in the code base... It scares me that it even works as well as it does. Yes, it does have many features, yes it can be intuitive. These useful, intuitive features are aimed at the "great unwashed masses" of Windows. So, maybe Johannes, you are right in not being surprised, by my not being impressed. Though I am impressed it compiles and typically works. That, though, is a whole OTHER discussion. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
